The Kindle version of my new novel, Lumina, is now available for preorder. The print version will be published on June 28.
From the back cover:
There were no authorized biographies of Lumina founder Eric Hauser during his life, just a Wikipedia page and a handful of profiles in Forbes, Business Week, and, early in his career, when he was only a “CEO to keep an eye on,” Inc. Magazine. He would not participate in biographies, and even the magazine profiles received input from him sparsely, begrudgingly; he was always eager to offer comments on Lumina and its products, but almost never on the details of his own life. After Hauser’s death, the first authorized biography would characterize him as the most paradoxically private and ego-driven man in all of business.
As far as the public is concerned, Eric Hauser was merely a narcissistic pioneer in the fields of holography, artificial intelligence, and wearable tech—an innovator following in the footsteps of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. This is an image Hauser himself put much effort into cultivating, but it says nothing of the man he truly was.
Lumina, the new novel from author Shawn Mihalik, peels back the layers of a reclusive CEO who died too young and under mysterious circumstances, revealing more than ever before about his upbringing, the passions and struggles that motivated him, and the fates of those he left behind.
